Developers' Training for Environmental Research

April 4–6, 2012 | Redmond, WA, United States

In this hands-on workshop, participants learned about the latest technologies from Microsoft that can help them productively share, access, consume, and present the environmental data that they use in their research. We introduced the Environmental Informatics Framework (EIF), an productive strategy for Microsoft to work with the environmental research community, and successful examples of EIF.

Participants were strongly encouraged to connect with us before the event to share their research scenarios with data and co-build demos for the event. They also had opportunities to interact with Microsoft technologies and fellow workshop participants to develop solutions, and present their solution designs at the workshop.
